and such a slaughter was never witnessed.
By this time the rebels bad betiome aware

ious to see more of this rebellious cOun-•

Opportunity. I have seen enough of the

and boldly assert that the condition they
are now in is more congenial to their

.any other that marl can -in

will harp on this Cursed' negro qriestion,
and use it as a hobby tO . ‘bring themselves
- into notoriety; at the saine time caring
nothing in reality how ace - slaves are treat
ed, so that their own Condition can be
bettered—ieeking nothing but their own
aggrandizement. Such iithe true light, to
view it in, yet it is unnecessary to waste
time on such an ignoble question. If old
Abe's proclamation liberates the. slaves, it
then follows,- what is to. be done with
theth ? Oh, say some, colonize. them—
colonize a bog as well! And the minuke
you colonise them, you deprive them - of
their liberty, in a degree, for colonizing .
them limits them to a certain territory;
consequently tht7 do not enjoy that free-
, dent which a free poople enjoy. The idea'
of their associating nith the•whites is ab
surd.. The question then' arises, what
must be done with them? I say let them
remain where they hive been raised, and
where everytling is congenial to their ha

but it is all gone as scion* as the boys stir

but little grumbling Over it.
One thing, howevet, has caused- mueli
'complaint., and that ie the removal of Mo.
IClellan. On
-this subject the army and
I the people of the Notth seem to iiiffer in'
opinion. Perhaps thit people know, best, '
r but u‘e can't see it. I conclude that those
who are disposed tO• charge him with
1 1 treachery, ike., have ?sot filly studied the
secret motives of their own hearts. That he
was slow, we do not deny. He was slow
and cautious, and that from humane me
tives ; but it is thy +pinibn that 4if these
fast men bad allowed Vain to- work, he would
have brought the Werlto close liefore-thig.'
Ie has encountered all kinds of aifficultiea,
—still showing, himself the inan, mill after
'the rebels have aeknOwledged his' ability
in their defeat in Matyland, and their fear
of Lim in their retreat from the Shen
andoah Valley. Thes for some reason; I
suppose; because he ivas too slow, he is re
moved. Perhaps.Bilrnside is the better
nine; at least we will hope foi the best.—
For a start he has sOceeded i admirably in
sticking us in the .nutd, and darving as a
'few days. I supposq it is necessary to do.
this in order to bring us down to fighting
weight,. Fast peopl+ may find that Vir
ginia mud can sticksven -Burnside. If he
advances from here,l which I very much
doubt, he will find it Islow work. , , *We
have already had to cninmence eorduroying
and hereafter. there can be little moving
without it. Ile has his whole force massed
befween here and Ftedericksburg, a dis
tance-of ten.miles. !We are at prdsent re
building bridges, 45:4, that he destroyed
when he left here a few Months ago; and
here I am at a loss to see - what good was
accomplished in thqr destruction. This
railroad complete, and furnished with
trains; could haveheen of little or no use
to the rebels; and yet he destroyed one
bridge that .cost us three weeks bard labor
last Spring,:and left no place easily,aam
agedointouched. SO much for Burnside.
I am happy to see that the feeling towards'
him among the me, is improving. Since
I ave. been a soldier nothing has occurred ,
so seriously affecting the feelings and sen
timents of-the-army, as this change. Every
feeling of patriothad seemed crushed. The.
cry was : "IT IS A POLITICAL'GA3I- 1
BIJ3T9' OPERATtON ;" And those who
had the charge-of Sotnpanies and were in
a manner responsible for the conduct of
the men, have bad no little trouble in
'counteracting and keeping down the spir
it of insubordinatioo. But enough of this;
there are ways en,ongh for our present

about the message, and arc afraid to copy

The - N. Y. Evelling Post says: "Mr.
Lincoln is not a rhetorician of the.. Macau
ley school, who writes polished . Brittinia
ware sentences. Neither is he a:formal lo
gician, whose premises and. conclusions
carry convidtiou with them as irresistably
as a cannon-ball carries death. Mis reas
onings are not always rigid nor his
tratious happy, and his methods are any
thing but graceful. * * It will be a
disappointment to the public that the
President tells us nothing about the prog
ress of the war; yet som e thing should
have been said, if not for the information
of our own people, for the information of
people abroad." ,
• The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser dwells
also upon this cold-blooded indifference,
this apathy,of sense and Of_ conscience in
regard to the services . and sacrifices of
the war: '
"In one respect the message disappoints
us, and is indeed unsatisfactory. •• It is en
tirely silent on the domestic condition of.l
the . country. .. Except from incidental',
mention, the readerof the document would
have no idea of the mighty and exhaust:
lug conflict. through which the country is .
passing, and which has been so fruitful of
events during the past year. Our soldiers
rind sailors, with their commauding-offi
cers of every degree, are passed over in'
total silence, without a word of commis
seration for the brave wounded and dead,
or a genial paragraph for the . living. Ex
cept that reference is made to the depart- -
ments,of war and navy, the reader of the'
message would'not guess that we had an
army in the field and a navy on the ocearr. - .
It is strangely barren of every word or
idea that could lead one to suppose :AEA
war had slain its tens of thousands since
the ' preceding- message was penned, or
that the insurgents bad exhausted their
resources of blood - treasure to overthiow
the federal government, and the loyal
Stales had poured forth their lives and
their money in noble, self-sacrificing ef
forts to sustain that government under the
shock. No word of sympathy with the
past, or cheer for the ftiture. * * Wer
confess that this defect. in the message
surprises and pains-us."
The Springfield Republican says : "Not
few will say that the President seems whol
ly ob4vious to the great crisis that is up
on the country, and the momentous neces
sity, that rests upon the government, while
he is absorbed in his scheme of compensa
ted-emancipation; the realizition of which
is in the far off future, ifjt is to come -at
all. Others still will scout his plan alto
gether, and declare it a waste of time and
energy to consider it at all while it is so
palpable to every one that earnest war-1W
the• business of the hour, and that it is
by War to the utter subjugation of the
slaveholders, that slavery is to be abolish
ed,and not by the consent of the slave
holders thcmgelves."
. The Oswego Commercial 'Times, forget
ting that Lincoln's stamp•speeches were
not Written by hik and that his messa-
ges were, says:
" We confess we are disappointed in the
messa g e. Since he beearne • President, Ab
raham Lincoln seems to have abandoned
altogether that forcible and eloquent
style which rendered his speeches famous.
We look in vain for any such ringing sen
tences as those contained in his impromp
tu speech at the Cooper Institute, prior to
his nomination for the Presidency. The
1-message is plain, straightforward and ra
ther heavy.- He makes no - appeal to the
feelings, he touches none of the finer e
motions of the human heart, he makes no
effort to stir up the patriotismof the peo
ple to high and lofty deeds for Union and
Libeity. Does the elevation of a man to
the Presidency blot out of, his mind all
the eloquence-and poetry it may have 'pre
viously contained ? •
The Albany Statesman frankly con ,
demos the message as wholly unworthy
the Executive who writes it, and the Con
gress to whom it is addressed:
"We confess to a sad -disappointment
in the perusal of the PreSident's annual
message. We looked to it with profonud
interest for a full and fair presentation of
the state of the country in view of its
pending troubles and =fending perils,
yet when we are, looking for bread we are
are given a stone. It is a great pity that
Mr. Lincoln couldnot'discem the calls of
his•bleeding country for a plain, straight
'
forward, edergetio action' in suppressing
the slaveholders' rebellion—adhering to
pie•Constitntion as it is, and simply avail-,
inn himself of his determination'to' em- '
I ploy the slave in the service, if his ownir
shall continue in revolt at the end' of the
- prescribed period. He is honest enough
' in all he says-and purposes, but the coun
t try is heartily sick .of hearing of nothing
but his honesty., ;
We hope now that the message is de
livered, that Congress will' treat it with
all proper consideration, but go to work I
to strengthen the army of the 'Union, for
its preservation, and to -lighten the burth-
ens of the nation, by preserving it from
'further impositions either in civil ortaili
tary life. The whole loyal population are
crying,for a termination of the war, by its
suppression, 'without compromise'or tem
porization. The President and his cabin
, et do not. yet. seem to be fully sensible of
this cry. Wilt thepresent Congress rove
intelligent itself sufficiently and disinter
ested to prompt the Executive to a (lit
,charge of his manifest duty? • If it do

not, there is a " manifest destiny" for th
